Apartments Club is written and edited by the Apartments Club Editorial Team. We publish under a shared team byline rather than individual names. Every guide on the site is produced by the team and checked against the sources it cites before it is published.
What we cover
- Renting in Los Angeles: tenant rights, the City of LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance, deposits, applications, repairs and moving.
- LA neighborhoods: where to live, with rents by ZIP code from public data.
- LA luxury buildings: profiles of large apartment communities, based on the buildings’ own public information.
- Buying and mortgages: plain-English guides for renters thinking about buying.
- Free calculators, including the LA RSO Allowable Rent Increase Calculator and the Move-In Cost Calculator.
How we work
We rely on primary and public data sources such as the Zillow Observed Rent Index, HUD Fair Market Rents, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, and official city and state housing agencies. We explain how each number was produced and when it was retrieved. Our full process is described in our Editorial Standards & Sources.
We are not lawyers, real estate agents or financial advisers, and nothing on this site is legal or financial advice. For questions about your specific situation, contact the relevant agency (for City of LA rent stabilization, the Los Angeles Housing Department) or a qualified professional.
